It's the fastest growing county in AL, and I suspect an additional judgeship is due. But any new judge is likely to be as corrupt as the ones who already are there, so I see no reason to add to an already sleazy situation.<br /><br />A genuine FBI investigation in Shelby County probably would result in 25-50 arrests of public officials for federal crimes--and God only knows how many attorneys and other participants.<br /><br />Solving the corruption problem in Shelby Co. probably would not be difficult--like shooting fish in a barrel because the bad guys (and gals) make little effort to cover up their misconduct. Alas, our justice department has no spine and no ethics.legalschnauzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09619089628125964154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-45244296393351181622011-03-20T00:11:57.191-05:002011-03-20T00:11:57.191-05:00Look who is trying to create an additional judgesh...Look who is trying to create an additional judgeship district in Shelby County:<br /><a href="http://www.openbama.org/index.php/bill/fulltext/3078" rel="nofollow">SB12 Sponsor: Senator Cam Ward</a>Max Shelbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13462265300417588171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-63439842316982798942011-03-18T12:37:16.112-05:002011-03-18T12:37:16.112-05:00Now wait a minute.

If a Democrat/Progressive did the exact same thing, it would be an egregious flaunting of the Law, and should be punished to the full of extent of the Law.<br /><br />You guys have got to learn how the real world works. The Dems are kept around to blame for the trainwreck, when actually the Republicans have been driving the Locomotive in a reckless and dangerous manner. <br /><br />How quaint, thinking that justice will be done! <br />(sarcasm, of course)mark in starkvillenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-84252271220451877272011-03-17T21:50:20.258-05:002011-03-17T21:50:20.258-05:00Alcee Hastings is my Comrade.

In Alabama, you have to deal with the Alabama Judicial Inquiry Commission (JIC)? <br /><br />It's different in other states?<br /><br />Do citizens have any reason to have confidence in the Alabama JIC--or any other such body?<br /><br />My experience has been that such outfits--including the Alabama State Bar--engage more in protection of bad lawyers/judges than in discipline.legalschnauzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09619089628125964154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-83249056169463332022011-03-17T11:48:39.225-05:002011-03-17T11:48:39.225-05:00Thomas should have taken the bar exam in Alabama w...Thomas should have taken the bar exam in Alabama where the State Bar has no power at all to discipline a sitting judge. When I pass the bar, the first thing I'm going to do is move to any place in Alabama where I can get elected to the bench or any place in America where I can get appointed to the federal bench so I don't have to deal with the Alabama State Bar until I get my retirement check rolling in.Robby Scott Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08625575128616865817noreply@blogger.com
